The study of more than 2000 American mums found that the average mother works 98 hours a week.

That's the equivalent of two and a half full-time jobs.

The mums with kids between five and 12 years “clocked in” at 6:23 a.m. and “clocked out” at 8:31 pm.

Sound familiar? Working an “average of” 14 hours a day.

Of course, we all know someone who spends 14 hours a day working- the local corner store owner, the guy who delivers fish for the fishmongers, the woman starting her own business.

But the difference is that most of them get days off.

What’s that you say.. a day off?

The study showed that mums' 14 hours stretched Monday through to Friday, and then right through Saturday and Sunday.

Never-ending, non-stop fun.

Exhausted at just the thought of that? Me too.

"The results of the survey highlight just how demanding the role of mum can be and the non-stop barrage of tasks it consists of," Casey Lewis of Welch's, the juice company that commissioned the study, told Yahoo.

Never-ending list of tasks

The study found 40 per cent of us feel like their life is a never-ending series of tasks, that eternal “To do list, which never seems to feature an item titled “Find time for yourself.”

Me time? Doesn’t exist. The study found that mums are only clocking just over an hour of that every day.. and what constitutes it, like simply having a shower, might not be the same type of “Me Time” you were used to pre-kids.

But we wouldn't change it for a thing. Would we?

Lifesaving hacks that mums share to help them cope with this heavy workload are familiar to us all.
